GENERAL REGULATIONS OF B.ED SPECIAL EDUCATION COURSES
1. Preamble
In the Foreword to the National Policy for Persons with Disabilities (2006), Smt. Meira
Kumar, the then Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, rightly observes: "The
Constitution of India ensures equality, freedom, justice and dignity of all individuals and
implicitly mandates an inclusive society for all including persons with disabilities.” Indeed, it
is universally recognized now that persons with disabilities constitute valuable human
resources for societies. Meaningful education alone can enable them to face the challenges of
life effectively, participate actively in community activities and thus become useful assets.
It is in this background that Section 26 of our Persons with Disabilities Act –1995, enjoins
upon all the appropriate Governments and the local authorities to “Ensure that every child
with a disability has access to free education in an appropriate environment till he attains the
age of eighteen years.”
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities which our Government has
already ratified in October 2007, recognizes through Article 24, the right of persons with
disabilities to education. For realizing this right, the Convention calls upon Member-States,
inter-alia, to ensure that children with disabilities are not excluded from free and compulsory
primary and secondary education, on the basis of disability and that they receive ‘effective
individualized support measures in environments that maximize academic and social
development, consistent with the goal of full inclusion’. In this important context, our
country's “The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 “assumes
special significance. It provides for quality educational opportunities to be made available to
children with disabilities as well, along with necessary infrastructural facilities and support
services including trained teachers. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us all to redouble our
efforts with utmost vigour and sincerity to create educationally conducive environments for
our disabled children. We have, of course, a long way to traverse. The literacy rate among
persons with disabilities is reported to be just about 49 percent. Only about 9 percent of
disabled youngsters manage to complete secondary education. Para 48 of the National Policy
for Persons with Disabilities, seeks to ensure “that every child with disability has access to
appropriate pre-school, primary and secondary level education by 2020.” In order to work
towards realizing this huge target, we need a large cadre of appropriately and adequately
trained teachers, apart from other requisite support services and technologies. Our teachers
have to play a decisive role in bringing about a qualitative change in the lives of persons with
disabilities. They have to imbibe the desired positive attitudes towards disability, viewing it
as a special challenge to human ingenuity and resourcefulness and not a terrible affliction or
obstruction. They have to understand the real meaning of inclusion--a basic mindset, a
philosophy of life and not just a matter of rhetoric or a cliché. And, of course, they have to
acquire all necessary knowledge and skills for successful and efficient discharge of their
onerous responsibilities. The proposed Special Education B.Ed. course seeks to fulfil this
important goal--preparing competent, creative, committed and confident teachers of children
with disabilities.

2. Objectives of the Course
The B.Ed. (Special Education) programme aims to develop teachers for children with
disabilities for various settings. The B.Ed. (Special Education) course will prepare human
resources to enable them to acquire knowledge and develop competencies and skills to impart
education and training effectively to all children including children with special needs.

their potentials and abilities to meet the national development with self respect,
dignity and freedom.

disabilities in general and special class settings in particular, in cognitive, affective
and skill domains.

Education course should have necessary infrastructural facilities such as the psychology
laboratory, science laboratory, language laboratory, work experience laboratory, computer
room, etc. In addition to the infrastructural facilities, aids and appliances necessary for the
specialization concerned should also be available. The institution should have a model school
for children with respective disabilities so that the student teachers can have practice teaching
during the course. Until such a facility is made available in the premises of the institution, a
model school in the locality can be adopted.
13. Certification as a Registered Professional
It is mandatory for every teacher of special education to obtain a “Registered Professional
Certificate” from the Rehabilitation Council of India to work in the field of special education
in India. As continuous professional growth is necessary for the renewal of the certificate, the
teachers as well as educators in special education should undergo in-service programme
periodically to update their professional knowledge. Amendments, if any, to the regulations
of the course will be made periodically by the Rehabilitation Council of India are
professional knowledge. Amendments, if any, to the regulations of the course will be made
periodically by the Rehabilitation Council of India. Any deviation from the above regulations
should have the prior approval of the Rehabilitation Council of India.

The affiliating Universities will award degree in B.Ed. (Special Education) specializing in
Hearing Impairment / Learning Disability / Visual Impairment. While issuing degree
certificate, the Universities should clearly spell out the area of specialization.
